System Requirements for WebSphere MQ V6 HP-UX Itanium platform

Product documentation

Abstract

Content

The System Requirements documented on this page are for the HP-UX Itanium platform. If you require support information about HP-UX on the PA-RISC platform please refer to the HP-UX PA-RISC platform System Requirements.

HP-UX: Itanium systems - any hardware that is explicitly compatible and fully capable of running the specified operating system, all the corresponding supporting software shown below, and any associated applications unmodified.

Java™ and JMS Client

32 bit

HP-UX IPF Software Development Kit for the Java 2 platform. (V1.4.2 is required for SSL support using Java because it provides the necessary JSSE classfiles.)

TCP/IP (provided by the operating system); IPv6 feature support is available with HP's Transport Optional Upgrade Release (TOUR).

Transaction Manager

Where one of these products is acting as the transaction manager and IBM WebSphere MQ is acting as a resource manager, it's recommended that you contact the transaction manager vendor in the first instance for support.

On platforms where WebSphere MQ provides a 64-bit product, both 32-bit and 64-bit MQ APIs are supported and the OS must be capable of running 64-bit applications.

On 64-bit platforms where WebSphere MQ provides both a 32-bit and a 64-bit product, there is NO migration path from V6 32-bit Queue Managers to V6 64-bit Queue Managers. Customers are strongly advised to install WebSphere MQ 64-bit products on 64-bit platforms as there is a migration path from V5 32-bit products to V6 64-bit products.

The 'MQ Explorer' is not supported on this platform.

Where higher levels of WAS V6 are suggested, this only includes V6.x levels and does not include other product versions.

Only 64-bit DB2 instances can be used with 64-bit WebSphere MQ.

WebSphere MQ 6.0.2.0 or later is required.

For details of the Support Statement for JCA (on WebSphere MQ 6.0.2.1 or later only) please see here.

WebSphere MQ 6.0.2.2 or later is required; also refer to Technote 1270591.

WebSphere MQ 6.0.2.3 or later is required.

Ensure that the latest BEA WebLogic SupportPac (SP) is installed; specifically, the following BEA WebLogic patches must be applied; CR249009, CR211194, CR243824, CR249009. Please contact BEA technical support if you need to acquire the patches.

Defect support is available for virtualization environments where they relate to releases of this platform already supported by WebSphere MQ. Unless stated elsewhere in the system requirements, WebSphere MQ has not been specifically tested in virtualization environments. WebSphere MQ Support is therefore unable to assist in issues related to configuration and setup, or issues that are directly related to the virtualization environment itself.
